Summary
In 1587, a group of approximately 120 men, women, and children left England to settle a new colony on Roanoke Island, off the coast of modern-day North Carolina. Within three years, virtually all of the colonists had disappeared, never to be seen again. What happened to the "Lost Colony" of Roanoke? Did the colonists move away and intermarry with local Indians, or were they killed in a massacre?
This eBook examines the fate of the "Lost Colony" and delves into the pro and con arguments that surround the colonists' disappearance. It includes a timeline, primary sources, a bibliography, and a "Learn More About" chapter with more information on the topic.
